And at the same time several jobs stopped, simply because technology advances made them obsolete. For example automation, you could replace manual labor with robots, but someone has to program, maintain and repair such robots, which happen to work 24/h a day.
Of course, you need far less technicians and engineers that the previous manual labor, so all those people spread looking jobs elsewhere.
Consider this: cars are very soon going to drive by themselves. This is going to put and end to, say, truckers. Later the same will occur to planes, pilots won't be needed anymore, etc.
There is also remote monitoring and controlling, perhaps one person (operator?) will be needed to watch over a fleet of self driven ships, trucks, planes, whatever. And programmers for perfecting and improving their AI, and the IT people to enable everything.
Some think AI can learn to program by itself and the days of the programmer are numbered, this is also something worth considering. Perhaps good enough robots can do all the IT job later.
But now, well its a nice option, if it tedious at times.
